A person with a new idea is a crank until the idea succeeds.
I love the writing. I love the idea of typing and seeing it on the computer and printing it out myself and, you know, moving sentences around. I like that.
Entrepreneurship is all about an idea that creates differentiated business value to one's customers. You must be able to convince your customers about the benefits that association with you or your products will give them.

I was only in college, unfortunately, for a year. I think my major was public relations, and I had no idea what it meant except it seemed maybe attainable.

I have no idea what the economics of the movie business is, especially with all the new Amazon, Netflix, Showtime, AMC, SyFy, and HBO series.

Simplicity is not the goal. It is the by-product of a good idea and modest expectations.
You may have heard of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. There's another day you might want to know about: Giving Tuesday. The idea is pretty straightforward. On the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, shoppers take a break from their gift-buying and donate what they can to charity.

If you want to kill any idea in the world, get a committee working on it.
